• this, unfortunately, also falls under the scope of hooks on hold per the DYK RfC on Russia/Ukraine. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 09:32, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
  • RfC is done, but since Russia was just expelled from the C of E, I think we should wait a few days to a week before promotion, get this news cycle out of the way. The article still seems to be undergoing heavy editing. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 20:03, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
    • theleekycauldron There has been some editing, but not edit wars or disruption. My understanding is that normal editing is not a reason for refusing DYK. (t · c) buidhe 20:18, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
      • @Buidhe: I suppose not, but I don't think it's wrong to wait a couple days when the subject of an article is affected by the news cycle of a recent event. Just to stay on the safe side. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 20:24, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

• Note that I am passing this nomination as it is stable and meets the DYK criteria as per previous review. 97198 (talk) 07:09, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
